  • FIGS. 1-3 a pair of so-called basic elements is made of one upper segment 1 (seen from above, FIG. 1) and one lower segment 2 (seen from below in FIG. 2) as an assembly partly shown in the section of FIG. 3.
  • This assembly forms a shell unit following practically the exact shape of a spherical lune of ellipsoid of revolution embracing an arc of (see FIG. 1).
  • the upper half-shell 1 extends above the equator 3 (see FIG. 3) and the lower half-shell 2 beneath the latter.
  • the latter half-shell serves partially as a dwelling floor, for which reason it is in part planar, at 4, and reinforced by ribs 5, being incorporated in the profile of ellipsoid of revolution of the whole.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pair of assembled segments.
  • the empty space 8 in FIG. 3 is formed between the roof portion 1 of the upper segment, a floor portion 4' and the grooves (here 13).
  • the upper complementary element according to FIGS. 4 and 5 has, seen from above, the form of a rhomb, the sides of which, 15, 16, have the length and the configuration already referred to of the equal sides 6 and 7 or more exactly the edges delimiting the angle of 120 of the upper segment 1.
  • the sides .15 and 16 form between them an angle of 120.
  • portions of sleeves 17, 18 of inner radius corresponding to that of the grooves 13 and 14.
  • the complementary element already described is a portion of a cylinder designed to serve as a roof.
  • the lower complementary element according to FIGS. 6 and 7 in the form of a rhomb of horizontal projection identical to that of the previous one, is a floor element, for which reason it is fiat and reinforced by ribs 19. Likewise, it terminates at both ends of its great axis, in sleeve portions 17 and 18.
  • FIG. 8 there are shown three pairs of connected segments.
  • the three pairs of segments appear in plan, i.e. three basic elements 20, 21, 22 are coupled.
  • an available dwelling volume within the broken line becomes available.
  • the vertical rectilinear grooves referred to when describing the elements allow the passage of three pillars 23.
  • they will be made of metallic tubes which are not only used for bracing the assembly but for supporting the whole which may thus be located at a certain height from the floor.
  • the dwelling is mounted on piling, the length of which may be determined according to the needs or wishes.
  • FIG. 9 By adding to four basic elements a complementary roof or vault element (FIGS. 4 and 5) and a complementary floor element (FIGS. 6 and 7) the enlarged basic cell of FIG. 9 will be obtained.
  • the pairs of segments bear the references 24, 25, 26 and 27 and surround the complementary rhombic vault element 28, on the opposite side of which is a complementary floor element of like profile.
  • This construction relates to the use of four pillars 29.
  • the half-shells form, above and under the horizontal plane, sleeve portions surround them in part along the whole height (see 13 in FIG.
  • FIG. 10 shows that a still more spacious dwelling may be obtained when making use of five basic elements 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, two upper complementary elements 35, 36 and, of course, two lower complementary elements, as well as five pillars 37.
  • the dotted lines in FIG. 10 show finally how it is possible to increase that space in a given direction, this moreover without limit. This is a form of linear extension of the construction.
  • FIG. 11 is a self-explanatory example showing the use of six basic elements, three pairs of complementary elements and six pillars (one not visible in the drawing).
  • a dwelling of the basic cell type according to the example of FIG. 8 may measure inside about 6 m. in its diameter with a flat door part of 5 m. diameter and a height in the center of 2 .70 m.
  • the length obtained in consequence of the disposition according to the example of FIG. 9 would be, all other values being equal, of 8.30 m. It is of course possible to divide the interior at will by means of walls arranged accordingly.
  • FiGS. 12 to 16 show possible arrangements given by way of example.
  • a door may be arranged as shown'in the FIGS. 12 to 14.
  • FIG. 12 corresponds to a plan-view of a lower halfshell 38 in the wall of which is provided the opening of a door 39 extending from the edge .40 of the flat floor to the level of horizontal plane 41. Similarly, the upper half-shell 42 (see FIGS. 13 to 14) will be holed at 39'.
  • the opening of the door is formed so that it has to be surrounded by an outer rectilinear vertical frame 43, i.e.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show in the same way how to ar- 7 plementary part of the bay opening made in this halfshell.
  • Vertical bars 48 divide the bay and separate the windows thereof which they support.
  • FIG. 16 corresponds to a view in elevation of a basic cell comprising, beside the aforesaid bay, a door 49.
  • the side bows of the two pairs of shells are located behind the pair 44-47.
  • FIG. 16 shows in elevation, how the construction is sustained by three pillars 52 above the floor 53.
  • FIG. '17 is a plan designed to show the mannerin which the dwellings obtained by means of the described elements may be appended in the most varied ways.
  • the two basic cells 54, 55, which appear therein are united by juxtaposition of the frames 56 of their conveniently oriented doors, i.e. by dividing the arc of 120 of the corresponding pair of shells into two parts of 30 and respectively, as it is moreover the case for the example of FIG. 12.
  • the basic cell 55 is in turn coupled by the doors 57 with the enlarged basic cell 58, partly represented.
  • some juxtaposed lower complementary elements form the floor of a terrace extending in front of the dwelling 58.
  • basic lower elements such as that of FIG. 2, it is possible to constitute terraces or hanging gardens.
  • FIG. 18 is a view in elevation, whose lower part corresponds to the already described FIG. 17.
  • a basic cell 61 V superposed to the cell 55 appears therein.
  • the latter is connected by a door not shown in the drawing, to the cell 62 located above the terrace 59 and propped by the two pillars 63 of the latter, as well as by the pillar '64 sustaining at the same time the lower dwelling 58.
  • the cell 62 forms a roof above the terrace 59.
  • each of said sets comprising upper and lower ellipsoid segments corresponding to an angle of 3 theupper segment extending above an horizontal plane and the lower segment extending below said plane, the perimeter of said ellipsoid segments in said horizontal plane having an arcuate edge of constant radius, the por tion of said perimeter opposite said arcuate edge cornprised of two linear edge portions of equal length extend-.
